"Rags to slightly better rags"?

why aren't they supposed to be believable??

You play a game to be somone you're not eg, in Stranglehold you play as a cop- realisticly he'd spend half his time doing paperwork but a game filling out paperwork wouldn't be fun, just like having to fill up a car with petrol to drive it, would just be annoying. Though of course some realism is needed otherwise games would be completely stupid.

Completely stupid like Nintendo games? lol

Exactly like Nintendo games - they're stupid and for babies - that's why GTA IV isn't on the Wii.

whoa what aweful words to say to a system that all of ya'll have played since childhood.

Yea, but times have changed and it seems Nintendo haven't.

But that was the good thing about it. There haven't been one game I played for more than a year on then the mario games and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past(all other Zelda games were sh*t).

thats not what I'm talking about...you're confusing things..

I'm talking about the story here. A believable character is a character that makes sense for the story and the world it's placed in.

Michael Corleone in Godfather is believable even though we don't see him wipe his ass after a sh*t.. right? Same here...

 

I hope the story is going to be a bit like the Sopranos was done. That was realistic and funny at the same time. And Tony had a pretty nice mansion... so we both get what we want.

 

and in stranglehold... realistically?? he would just get fired from the job and drink himself to death in a depressing apartment somewhere in hongkong. tounge2.gif inspector tequila... goddamn right.

Yea, it does need believable characters and story as it can still be fun and not seem stupid. My bad. blush.gif

times change... nintendo doesnt and is still the most popular console in the world...

you see... EDIT: okay that was way too cynical...totally uncalled for, xmas is getting to me..

 

what i was saying is that nintendo makes different games and consoles for a different purpose... Wii is about playing with friends, smoking wiid, going crazy.. it's not aimed at the hardcore gamers.

and nintendo has always had some of the most creative and groundbreaking games. Leaving the realism market to MS and Sony to fuss over was the best move they could make... in 50 years nintendo will still be a major player... if microsoft still exists by then remains to be seen.

I can respect that some people will like that, but we have to move on we are entering a new age of gaming with realistic graphics, more possibilities and more fun! Surely that has to be better than old classics (which admittedly were very good for their time).

Well Nintendo is the most popular console in the world. Think about it, When Nintendo came out the only compeditors was maybe Sega(I don't know what else, I was a baby back then). And then think today where there are 3 console wars going on instead of in the past where almost every household had a nintendo.

Yea Nintendo have done well to maintain their popularity (i suppose we all have a place in our hearts for Nintendo).

Well I know that we have to move on it just that the those two idiots(No offense) who said that Nintendo was completely stupid. I would like to see how the gaming universe today would be like without Mario or the RPG games without Zelda.

Can we stop this now! This isn't a Nintendo Wii forum! It's GTA:IV.

Good point, but now they've left so there's no one in this topic!

I expect Niko to get some nice things like a penthouse or whatever, but not to the extent of VC, and SA.

 

I think it'll be alot of III, and LCS. Infact I would rather it like this, because it's a more realistic scenario. I also think the way CJ rose to power in SA was too far fetched.

 

 

It's impossible for one man to rule New York

This isn't New York, it's Liberty City.

 

Instead of ye old rags to riches tale, apparently GTA IV is a tale of "rags to slightly better rags", i hope this is some kind of metaphor, because i want a mansion, what's the point in playing if your not going to achieve your goal!?

I wrote this a while back when there was a wave of concern over the rags to slightly better rags topic. I still feel the same way, and nothing has really changed since then.

Maybe not a mansion but something better. A nice house in the suburbs. Somewhere placid, peaceful and with all sorts of nifty features. Or, how about Niko owning a hotel? Not a mansion but really swanky nonetheless. The Bellic. Nice name eh? I'd probably stay there.
